ABOUT US

splitz is an independent charity and leading provider of domestic abuse support services in Wiltshire. We have a key role in shaping strategy and policy through our participation in the Wiltshire Domestic Abuse reduction group, domestic abuse forums and by lobbying local, regional and national government.

As a service user-led provider we work with partner agencies and the local community to research and forecast support needs, and develop and deliver a range of quality services and other solutions. Our services are developed with input from service users and others in the local community.

We work with national training providers to ensure our staff meet the appropriate national occupational standards. Through a programme of continuous professional development staff are encouraged to achieve an appropriate recognised qualification at level 3 or above.

our vision

Is for a society where people have the right to be respected; have the opportunity to enjoy a happy and healthy life, free from fear; and are able to achieve and sustain independence.

our mission

We are able to work towards our vision by working with individuals, communities and other agencies to:

• Help people identify, come to terms with and overcome their difficulties and challenges.• Provide high quality support services.• Generate solutions appropriate to the needs of our communities.

our values

• Integrity – accountability, transparency, honesty, reliability and confidentiality

• Inclusiveness – accessibility to all, treating everyone with dignity, showing respect and compassion, recognising and valuing difference in others

governAnCe

The governance of the charity is managed by an experienced team of dedicated individuals who form our trustee board. Many of our trustees have valuable business experience, experience of the voluntary sector or experience of the types of services we provide.

There were 13 trustees in this reporting period, and the board met 9 times. There were no additional sub-group or working group meetings this year.

Working from our business plan, targets for the year were set and included in the management action plan. Key targets have included:

The cost of relevant training courses, especially for domestic abuse outreach services, has not allowed us to fund sufficient qualifications this year.

“i tried to help my mum. i didn’t want her to be so sad. my dad didn’t live with us anymore and i was frightened my mum would leave me too. At school i would think about my mum and worry about if she was alright on her own

at home. sometimes i would miss school so that i could keep my eye on her but i didn’t tell her that. i just said i didn’t feel very well” – Jessica (aged 11)

Welcome to this year’s annual review of our work. We are in a climate when public expenditure is reducing and this is having a huge impact on vital services. Many organisations are reducing their front line services and many are reorganise themselves in order to survive. The impact of this is felt by the most vulnerable and needy in our communities; particularly children and young people. It is our responsibility to continue to make our charity work effectively and navigate the complexities we are presented with. It would be very easy to get distracted from our focus. While we need to continue to be a professional well run business, we will never take our eyes off the reason we are here; to provide services to people who need support to achieve and sustain health and wellbeing and gain a reasonable level of independence. We are, first and foremost, a family centred charity and the tensions between keeping our focus on the needs of our service users and enabling healthy growth for the organisation is a daily challenge.

Looking back over the last year, we have faced all the challenges ‘head on’ by making changes to create a sustainable and stronger infrastructure on which to build. I am very proud of our fantastic staff, volunteers and trustees who have all maintained their focus ensuring that children and families stay at the heart of all we do. Their professionalism and dedication on prioritising the safety, wellbeing

and development of their service users is highly valued and commendable.

In many ways, Splitz has had an excellent year despite the challenging times. We achieved Investor in People at Silver level and we are all enormously pleased with this. This national award gives a clear indication that our employment practices are of an extremely high standard. Although we already knew this, it is encouraging to have it confirmed. We have had great success in fundraising enabling us to sustain some significant projects and our excellent reputation for delivering positive outcomes for service users goes ahead of us. Our profile has increased significantly; both within the voluntary sector and with the general public. We have been consulted and involved with the development and provision of new police initiatives like ‘go orders’ and ‘Clares Law’ which go a long way to helping people stay safe. Our opinions and input are being sought by key bodies, locally and regionally. But our passion and focus continues to be, as it should, transforming the lives of the people who trust us to help them.

Jessica received support from KidzPace where she had her own worker to help her. She is now a much happier and more confident young person. Her mother also received support from the Paloma Project and they both got involved with structured activities with others of similar experience. Now they both sleep better at night.

The trustees delegate the management, development for strategy and overall leadership of the charity to the Executive Director, who works closely with her management team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for another amazing year where people like Jessica and her mother have been enabled to achieve their personal goals.

ChAIRMAN’S REPORT

ANNUAL REVIEW 2011-2012

SPLITZ SUPPORT SERVICE

i am extremely proud and privileged to be leading this dynamic and passionate organisation through such a challenging and pivotal period in its history towards creating a sustainable future for people who need us. my role

is to lead, manage and guide the growing number of people doing that exceptional work – people with commitment, purpose and professional expertise. We couldn’t do what we do without such an amazing team of people.

We work with our members, volunteers, supporters, the community, schools, businesses and local authorities to ensure that we continue to support and improve people’s lives, and help develop thinking that enables everyone to understand how to make a valuable contribution towards creating a sustainable future in a society where children matter and the family is precious.

The recession drags on and it is having a devastating effect on some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged families in our area by compounding some already extremely difficult challenges in their lives. Our services are witnessing an increase in need and an erosion of the resources available in communities to meet those needs. Local Authorities have faced decisions of unprecedented difficulty and complexity and the reduction in finances available has had a huge impact on local people.

At Splitz, we have responded rigorously and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible quality of service while doing our very best to protect the organisation’s sustainability. It is our continued duty to focus as much of our expenditure as possible on direct services. The funding we receive is critical and enables us to meet needs we would not otherwise meet.

We have strengthened our internal infrastructure and continue to seek funding from grant making trusts and other resources rather than rely upon the local authorities who simply don’t have the funds available at the moment. We work closely with our partners, both in the local authority and other providers to ensure the most vulnerable people are given the best possible service.

We are deeply conscious of our responsibility to be transparent in our dealings with all funders about how our money is used and our annual accounts and reviews are posted openly on our website and sent promptly to all funders so that they can see where their money goes.

Our achievements are a source of great pride and are testament to the way in which our staff, volunteers and trustees ensure quality is demonstrated to the hundreds of service users we support every year. This is all the more remarkable in such challenging times and I am deeply grateful to them for all they do.

We are dealing with a double challenge; the rising level of need and reduced resources in the community.

Thank you for your continued support. Together we will make a significant difference!

PROJECT REPORTS

monitoring

Each project has its own performance monitoring criteria, which are often agreed with the major funders. Outcomes as well as outputs are measured, with the emphasis on the benefit to the service user. Due to the variety in monitoring it is not possible to directly compare each project; however, we can compare certain measures against targets and compare these by project.

DAtAbAse

Our database was revised in 2011-12 and a new system developed to provide the opportunity to collect monitoring and contact data and enhance the reporting at various levels. The new version was rolled out in April 2012 and will enable us to provide more accurate monitoring data in the years ahead. We will be able to better quantify the time spent on support and the types of support delivered, as well as showing the changes made in outcomes by using graphs for individuals or for the whole service (fig 1).

For the previous year we can report on each project and how it met its key targets, and compare some data across all projects. The referral rates for each project can be measured against targets set either by us or by our funders, and the referrals measured as a % of the target (fig 2). Fig 1 - graph of outcomes

fAMILY SERVICES

buDDy sCheme

The Buddy Scheme is an outreach service delivered by volunteers to individuals or families in Wiltshire who are parenting alone and who have experienced domestic abuse, separation or divorce. This service is designed to come after a period of higher level support, either from another Splitz service or from any other service within Wiltshire.

As well as delivering support to those in need the scheme provides a volunteering opportunity for those who wish to give something back to their community. We are highly delighted that most of our volunteers go on to paid employment or return to some form of education. Several buddies have successfully applied for paid posts with us.

YOUNg PEOPLE’S SERVICES

kiDzpACe & spLitzkiDz

The KidzPace and SplitzKidz projects deliver support to young people (11-16 years old) who have witnessed or experienced domestic abuse. Support is provided on a one to one basis followed by optional group work. A concurrent group programme for the parents is available.

The projects began at different times and covering different geographocal areas of Wiltshire. In the past year management of the projects has been streamlined to harmonise the services and simplify monitoring.

We are planning a complimentary pilot project in a Salisbury school starting in Septemeber 2012.

dOMESTIC VIOLENCE/ABUSE OUTREACh

The term domestic violence is gradually being replaced by the term domestic abuse. Some bodies use one term and some use the other. Both terms have merits as well as drawbacks and are often interchanged. We have no preferrence and use both terms as necessary. For the purposes of this report we will tend to say domestic abuse.

pALomA (WiLtshire)

This project delivers an outreach service to (male and female) victims of domestic abuse in the Wiltshire Council area. Our main funding is from the Big Lottery Fund and Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership.

The project has been successful in supporting 407 people from a wide variety of locations and backgrounds acorss the area. The service delivers support in the community, advocacy and practical help in accessing other services, telephone support and “being there”, plus group workshops.

pALomA (sWinDon)

This project delivers an outreach service to (male and female) victims of domestic abuse in the Swindon Borough area. Funding for this service was from Swindon Community Safety Partnership. The service was recommissioned in 2011 and awarded to Swindon Women’s Aid as a joint service with the Refuge and IDVA service in April 2012.

dOMESTIC VIOLENCE PERPETRATOR PROgRAMMES (dVPP)

The DVPP programmes are based on the Duluth model and consist of a 2 hrs session each week for 30 weeks. There are 5 modules, each of 6 weeks. Men undergo an assessment before being accepted onto the programme and receive regular supervision throughout.

An integrated safety service is available, providing safety support to the (ex)partners.

A follow-on group, meeting monthly, is provided for men completing the main programme. The aim is to provide ongoing support for a year and ad-hoc support thereafter.

stopping vioLenCe progrAmme

With the support of Safer Bristol we deliver 2 groups in Bristol: one in Withywood and one in Southmead. There are diferent pressures on this programme which reflect the different demographics of a diverse city area, compared to the rural, conservative, country setting in Wiltshire.

The DVPP service in Wiltshire delivers 2 groups: one in Trowbridge and one in Salisbury. Quite a few men are from the military community in the county, and the programme is well supported by the Army Welfare Service.

hOUSINg SERVICES

Housing is a major concern of many people suffering domestic abuse, separation and divorce.

Community4

We provide a housing related floating support service within Wiltshire as part of the Community4 consortium.

referrals

The number of referrals has increased across all projects, with an equal rise in the number of families seeking support.

There was a similar rise in the number of referrals for young people, but a slight decrease in the number of families. We are now working with multiple children per household.

Demographics

In recent years we began to set some demographic targets with a view to improving access to our services. We recognise that some service users are unwilling to disclose disabilities or provide other monitoring data. At this time we have no serious concerns about access to our services.

referral route

A major indicator of how widely our service is recognised and respected is the range of referral routes. Although we encourage self referrals to most of our services we still capture data on how the individual was signposted to us.

Self and ‘other’ referrals were down slightly with a large rise in the number of referrals from the police. This can be attributed to the DV protection notice/order pilot.

We have reduced the amount of data used to analyse our service. Analysis is now focussed on data that has value to both us and our community.

REVIEW Of dEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES & AChIEVEMENTS

The Trustees agree that the organisation has satisfactorily achieved its objectives in the last 12 months through core work and the development of projects.

During the year Splitz has provided support directly to 964 new families who care for over 1,001 children. 113 new children were referred to KidzPace and SplitzKidz. Community4, a housing related support service, was developed in partnership with Alabare, DHI & Westlea Housing.

university stuDent pLACementsWe provided placements for social work students from Bath University and Wiltshire College, which is our way of supporting our local community.

gOVERNANCE

orgAnisAtionSplitz Support Service is an independent registered Charity and Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee. It is not a local branch of any national charity or organisation.

ConstitutionThe trustees began a review of the Memorandum and Articles with the aim of bringing it into line with the Charity Commission’s new model. We submitted our revisions to the Charity Commission and await their response.

business pLAn Our business plan illustrates the need to strengthen our organisational infrastructure and look at ways of splitting the functions performed by our Executive Director into strategic, operational, fundraising, HR and administration. Our business plan is under constant scrutiny and during 2012 it will be reviewed and refreshed.

finAnCiAL reserves poLiCyThe trustees have agreed to increase the reserves amount to £170,000. This is the

first increase for 5 years and the decision was reached to take account of the increase in the activities of the charity. This reflects good financial management and is sufficient to underpin our long term commitments in the event of loss of income. Reserves are to be maintained at a level which will ensure that our core activities can continue during an unforeseen period of financial difficulty.

In accordance with guidelines issued by the Charity Commissioners, the Trustees have adopted a policy regarding financial reserves with the aim of holding up to six months running costs in unrestricted funds ensuring that there are adequate funds to ensure that the Charity is able to meet all current and known future liabilities.

risk revieWThe Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

investment poWers AnD restriCtionsAs indicated in the charity’s Memorandum of Association.

future DeveLopmentsMany of our services are replicable and it is our intention to develop these in other areas where practical. We have been successful through tendering in partnership with People Can and GreenSquare Group in the Domestic Abuse Support Service in Gloucestershire which will be implemented at the beginning of July 2012. Additionally, we have mapped an unmet need

20


for teenagers aged 13 – 15 who are involved in personal relationships which have become abusive, violent and controlling. We have been asked to ‘pilot’ a piece of work at a local Wiltshire school working with this age group in a structured setting to address the issue of healthy relationships. This will be referred to as teenZtalk; watch this space!

trustees responsibiLitiesCompany law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the incoming and outgoing resources for the year then ended.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.

DeLegAteD responsibiLitiesThe trustees have delegated day-to-day management decisions to the Executive Director: this includes the decision for setting up new projects, fundraising, staff matters, contracts relating to the provision of our services and all policies and procedures. The trustees retain responsibility for agreeing large contracts and single expenditure (over £12,000), financial oversight, compliance with Company and Charity law, ratifying key policies and procedures, and maintaining a strategic overview of the activities and development of the charity.

trustee reCruitment AnD inDuCtionWe aim to ensure our board of trustees reflects the widest possible range of skills, not only business and financial expertise but life experience too. Trustee vacancies are advertised on the Splitz Support Services website with an application process similar to that of our volunteer scheme.

A trustee induction procedure is in place and new trustees undergo a half day training and receive an induction pack containing a variety of documents and forms for their attention. Included in the pack is a copy of The Essential Trustee and the Directors and Secretaries Guide. As part of trustee development, and to meet expectations, we now ensure that all trustees participate in Safeguarding and Child Protection training and undergo a CRB disclosure. An induction presentation is available. The Chairman maintains a register of trustee induction.

REPORT Of ThE INdEPENdENT AUdITORSTO ThE TRUSTEES Of SPLITZ SUPPORT SERVICE

We have audited the financial statements of Splitz Support Service for the year ended 31 March 2012 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. These accounts have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

The report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

respeCtive responsibiLities of trustees AnD the AuDitors

As described in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees’ (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company Law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and for being satisfied that the accounts show a true and fair view.

The Trustees have elected for the accounts to be audited in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 rather than the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly we have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the accounts in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

sCope of the AuDit of the ACCounts

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates made by the director; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Trustees’ Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

23

NOTES TO ThE ACCOUNTS

NOTES TO ThE ACCOUNTSfor the yeAr enDeD 31 mArCh 2012

1. ACCounting poLiCies basis of preparation of the accounts

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, issued in March 2005 and the Companies Act 2006. Where necessary the headings laid down in the Act have been adapted to meet the special activities of the Charity.

The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Accounting conventionThe financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

The charity is entirely dependant on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependant on the continuing grant aid.

incoming resources Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis deferred as described below.

Except as described under the ‘Deferred income’ accounting policy all grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in the year in which they are receivable.

investment income Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.

Deferred incomeIn accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (March 2005) issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts.

recognition of liabilitiesLiabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (March 2005) issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

27


resources expendedExpenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Costs of generating funds Comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

Charitable expenditureComprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

governance costsInclude those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Allocation of costs within types of resources expendedThe methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are:--All costs allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on the basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. -Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage as set out in the notes to the accounts.

unrealised and realised gainsRealised gains and losses are included in the accounts on the date at which a contractual obligation is entered into.

Unrealised gains and losses are computed by reference to the market value of the investments at the balance sheet date, compared to the brought forward cost or valuation, and gains and losses on similar categories of investment are netted off.

fixed assets and depreciationFixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Any fixed assets for which grant funding has been specifically obtained for are written off in full in the year of purchase.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixture and fittings – 20% straight line Computer equipment – 3 years straight line

28


restricted fundsRestricted Funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they can be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

unrestricted fundsUnrestricted Funds are grants, donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and is available as general funds.

2. WinDing up or DissoLution of the ChArity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
